Let me just put a few things out there. We have 3 candidates on the Dem side running for President: an old “white” socialist, an old “white” criminal hag, and an aging “white” shirtless liberal. First off, where are there any candidates of “color”? This party touts that they are for those of “color” (being the racists that they are) yet they don’t have any candidates to stand for their own “race”. Oh, that’s right. They already burnt that candle on the present guy. Yeah, that worked out well. Anyway, why is there any following for a corrupt, traitorous, incompetent criminal as Clinton? By the same token, how can a socialist, which is a theology entirely opposite of our capitalist system, garner so much support? And a tax and spend liberal that has had most signed bills on taxes reversed in his state because it hurt the state and its people. Young, ignorant voters is why. I will say no more than it is a failing of the public education system that either teaches the Constitution incorrectly or not at all. If we require aliens to have a working knowledge of our Constitution to become citizens, why don’t we absolutely require it of our own citizens? Despicable.

We have a rouge President and government that has done everything possible to circumvent their duties to uphold the Constitution of the United States. The citizens are upset and we are seeing many converts (usually happens when you hit people in their wallets or take away their livelihoods). On top of that you have an unwilling Congress that throws up it hands and says “what can we do?”. First the GOP needed the House and they got that. Nothing happened because they said they needed the Senate. So then they got that but still nothing happened and the next excuse was “we need the Presidency”. The GOP is scared. They laid on their backs and said no impeachment. The laid on their backs and said no government shutdown. They never held back monies for egregious executive orders or even healthcare that they never got a say-so in. Rather, they gave all the monies requested for this rogue government, biding their time for a sunnier sky. These clowns are as bad as what the Dems are and, as the Dems have shown the way to be corrupt, so goes these “establishment” types.

And the citizens are pissed. At least the ones that are astute to how this government should run, knowledge of the Constitution, and an understanding that they are being lied to at every turn. This is what I would consider the “perfect storm” for a conservative candidate and we have many in the race. The GOP used to be the party of conservatism but it has been continually corrupted for decades and those that are conservative are scorned at every turn. We have true conservatives (or the best we have seen in a very long time) yet there is a wild card……Trump. I stated before that I like what Trump was doing in “playing” on those issues that strike a chord with the people. But Trump is no conservative and never will be. The National Review Gave that a spin but this was nothing new to anyone that could see through this carney barker. He and Ted Cruz have been civil when Trump has been trashing all the other candidates until, of course, Trump was taking “second place” in the Iowa caucus, the first caucus to come. In an interview with CNN Trump talks about how nasty Cruz is and that no one likes him or can get along with him. Trump is barking and his lead soars past Cruz. Why? The same reason that anyone wants to vote for the idiots on the Dem side. People just refuse to do their homework. The first and BEST chance in a long, long time to take the Presidency and, possibly, get the GOP back to its roots and Trump is the leader. Imagine that. And he can deal with anyone and he can deal with the Dems cause Pelosi and Reid (who won’t be around, thank goodness) and Schumar and others like him, and he can get deals done. What deals? If the GOP has majority in the House, the Senate and take the Presidency, the Dems are no longer a factor. There are NO DEALS TO MAKE! So is he going to deal with foreign governments? What deals can he make? Yes, I consider the government as a business; a non-profit business. It needs to run as efficiently at with the least amount of people as possible. A business savvy individual would do alright I guess but isn’t that what picking the right people in the cabinet are for? Isn’t it better to have an individual who knows law and the Constitution (not some fraud from Harvard who says he teaches Constitutional law and then circumvents those laws) rather than someone who knows how to make a buck and screw people? I feel that this opportunity to change America back to a nation of values and principles will be lost on nothing more than people being sheep going to the slaughter yet once again. All I can hope is that people get there heads out of their ass so that they may see the “epiphany” necessary to keep from going down the whirlpool of another toilet flush.

It appears that Trump is scared of Megan Kelly or FOX altogether but he never has any problem being interviewed by the rabid liberal media. Now he won’t show for the debate tomorrow. Good riddance as far as I am concerned. Now maybe the debate will have substance instead of being about Trump or Trump trashing the other candidates.

Jack, many others have stood up to the media hacks and done it to their advantage in front of the nation. I just get tired of the platform that to run for office, instead of talk about the issues, you take every advantage to mud-sling and destroy your fellow candidates. Trump is acting like a petulant child and THAT doesn’t bode well if you are looking to occupy the highest office in the land. I see that everyday with O’bummer.

FOX News invited a radical Muslim activist, a Bernie Sanders supporter, a Black Lives Matter supporter and a Mexican illegal immigrant to the debate to confront Donald Trump and then there’s Megan Kelly who has Michael Moore on tonight to further bash Trump.

I wouldn’t participate either, and the others should also walk out.

Why didn’t they invite someone to confront Cruz and Rubio’s eligibility to be president?

FOX’s problem is that they wanted Jeb and I presume they still want washed-up Jeb, he should have pulled out before now.

Seems to me that this whole Trump vs Fox thing started when Megyn Kelly launched mud at Trump from the very first question at the first debate. I don’t think Trump is afraid of Fox or Kelly in any way. He certainly interviews enough with Fox. I suspect he wants to stick a finger in the eye of any media types who believe they can take a below-the-belt stab at him on stage in front of a national debate audience. The Donald’s middle finger is raised to Roger Ailes and company, and too bad for Fox ratings when The Donald doesn’t show for the Iowa debate if Kelly is once more in the moderator’s chair. An unwillingness to put up with the usual crap of the contemporary media-politics incest appears to be The Donald’s thing, and it keeps him in the national limelight whether he is on the debate stage or elsewhere in Des Moines holding an event for wounded military veterans.

I think Trump is “playing” these media people as part of his effort to draw voter support from every Joe or JoAnn Six-Pack who has rising anger against the Washington “establishment,” whether that be politics or national media.

And Megyn Kelly certainly didn’t do herself any favors by bringing that doofus Michael Moore on her show to take jabs at Trump. In my opinion, that made Megyn look like a desperate loser.

A child born in the US is a US citizen. I can’t think of any reason he/she wouldn’t meet the “natural born criterion. The citizenship of the parents seems beside the point. Rubio and Jindal were born in the United States. End of citizenship story, unless they subsequently renounced their US citizen status to live abroad. I have not heard that that’s the case.

I have a French godson who was born here and lived here until he was 6 years old, when he returned to France with his family. He hasn’t lived here since other than for short visits. He has a US passport and pays US taxes on his income (the US is one of the very few – perhaps the only- developed country that taxes the income of its citizens wherever earned). He also is a French citizen, because both of his parents are French. I think he would be qualified to run for president (other than that he is still too young, he is very well informed and well educated, and he tends to speak like an adult about complex international issues).

One aspect of the Cruz issue about which I’ve heard little discussion are reports that he formally renounced his Canadian citizenship only within the past couple of years. This distinguishes his situation from those of McCain and George Romney, both of whom are often pointed to as reasons why Cruz doesn’t have a problem.

I doubt that it does matter, Jack, as there is no question about my Godson’s US citizenship.

My comment was directed at HE’s reference to Rubio’s citizenship (and later Jindal’s). HE’s first sentence in his more recent comment is a bit confusing as he says that neither Jindal’s nor Rubio’s parents were citizens when they were born here. I think in both cases that their parents were born abroad, but Jindal and Rubio were born in the United States. If we are agreed that both Bobby and Marco were born in the United States, it doesn’t matter that their parents were born here or abroad.

Just for the sake of conversation, however, my Franco-American godson’s father worked here (i.e., in the United States) for an international company.
